Market conditions have been good. 

 Mothers' day business was a record- 

 breaker. The volume of business far 

 exceeded that of other years. While 

 stock was plentiful, there still was not 

 enough to supply the demand. Every- 

 one cleaned up well. For a few days 

 following Mothers' day business seemed 

 rather slack, but picked up later. Eoses, 

 carnations, snapdragons and sweet peas 

 are in good supply and tlie quality is 

 fine. The local peony crop was in just 

 right for Memorial day. Saturday, May 

 27, the market was flooded with peonies, 

 irises and pyrethrums. 



The Blossom Floral Co. reports busi- 

 ness about normal, following the big 

 rush for Mothers' day. This firm an- 

 ticipated a large amount of trade for 

 Memorial day. It was said that Mr. 

 Blossom would take advantage of the 

 excursion Sunday, May 28, to visit some 

 of the Chicago florists. 



W. J. & M. S. Vcsey are cutting a fine 

 lot of Cattleya MossisB and C. gigas. 



The force of the Flick Floral Co. has 

 beon busy with the plant trade. The 

 call for plants and baskets has been ex- 

 ceptionally large this year. S. N.

Paiw WHEN^buAVANT It 



Loyd Bunch of Fredonia, Kansas, finds Cannas 

 a profitable crop when Skinner System Watered. 



Making Money 

 With Cannas 



Cannas behave pretty much the same 

 whether grown in Tennessee or Vermont, 

 because a canna is a canna. 

 But Floyd Bralliar, of Madison, Tenn., 

 in an article in the Review, tells below 

 how they act when given plenty of water: 



"Cannas thrive best where they can se- 

 cure a large supply of water. In fact, 

 they will grow in the edges of swamps 

 and rejoice in the opiwrtunity. I placed 

 a few plants, of the 

 high-priced novelties, 

 where we could irri- 

 gate them thorouglily 

 with a Skinner over- 

 head sprinkling sys- 

 tem and watered them 

 every aay'and on hot 

 days sprinkled the fol- 

 iage thoroughly about 

 noon besides. We got 

 an average '. ol fifty 



good eyes for each plant set, to pay us 

 for our trouble. These results are given, 

 not because they are of great practical 

 value to the commercial grower, but just 

 to show what water willi do if you'U 

 only let It do it." 



Cannas are over 85% water when grown 

 right. If they don't get that 85"/. you 

 don't get the cannas you ought to get. 

 And what it willfdo for cannas it will 

 do for carnations, 

 asters, gladioli and 

 dahlias.
